review 1: Powerful story about a young girl who lost both her father and mother in Afghanistan. It tells the story from her grandmother's point of view and how her grandmother finds a secret school behind a green door to help Nasreen cope with her feelings of loss through the power of learning and love. The story is told with bright, vibrant, and symbolic illustrations. The emotions of the characters are clear and evident on their faces. The text weaves a courageous story of the horrors faced by vulnerable populations during a time of war and oppression.
review 2: Nasreen’s Secret School is a great book for kids that are between the ages 6 and 9. This book is great for them because it shows the importance of education. It would be good for them to know that in other co
... moreuntries some people aren't allowed to go to school and that we are really lucky to have access to education. In this book Nasreen’s dad is taken away from her so she becomes very sad. I really like what her grandma did for her to get her mind out of her being sad; she decides to take her to a secret school since girls are not allowed to go to school. If I was going through the same thing I would have liked my grandma to do the same for me. One thing that I didn't like from this book was the pictures because they were too plain. I think it would be better if the whole page was covered with a picture. less
